Draft at Barley Creek Pours a nice amber with a tan head. Has a good hoppy aroma. Tough to smell with wings over powering the beer. Had a decent crisp sippability. A pretty good beer when you are in the Poconos.

Draft. Medium copper colored with aroma of caramel malt, hops, toffee. Tastes hoppy with a solid caramel malt base, with finsihing brown sugary notes, but not sweet notes.

On tap at BCBC. Pours a deep amber with a light tan head. Plenty of hops in the aroma and followed through in the flavor. Some bitterness from the hops, but not overpowering. Well done.

on tap at BCBC, a very bitter hop aroma coming off an amber beer with a cream colored soapy head. tons of hops in the flavor, which are nicely subdued by a caramel malt backbone so there is no mouth puckering bitterness. a little watery in the body department, but overall quite nice.

On tap at Barley Creek. Deep amber in color with a nice white head. Hoppy and malty aroma. Hoppy and malty flavor. Very hoppy flavor. Palate is thin. Ok beer. Dry tasting.

This was a good ESB...although nothing too special, it is still worth a try. Well done.
